The results of the survey indicated that the option that received the most support from respondents was to maintain the existing parking restrictions in Queenscliff. The second highest number of respondents selected Option A for a Resident Parking Scheme which complied with the current RMS Guidelines. The non-compliant scheme Option B received the lowest level of support.

The Resident Working Group, together with Council officers, have developed and distributed a survey for Queenscliff residents and property owners with a number of options for a Resident Parking Scheme (RPS). One option meets the RMS guidelines and an alternate scheme has possible variations that would require amendment of RMS guidelines.

Any RPS needs to satisfy Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) requirements, which includes the issuing of permits.

A RPS would provide eligible Queenscliff residents with a permit, issued by Council, allowing them to park on the street in the designated areas without restriction. Vehicles without a permit would have time-restricted parking.

It is likely that there would be a charge for each permit to cover ongoing costs of the scheme. This is likely to be $50-$100 per year.

We are now seeking your input on the two options for allocating permits if a RPS is implemented in Queenscliff.

Please read the information in the survey and in the Document Library before completing the survey.

The working group includes members of the
community and Council staff.

At this meeting, the working group discussed potential questions to be included in a Resident Survey Questionnaire. The purpose of the survey is to find out the Queenscliff community's level of support and preferences for a Resident Parking Scheme (RPS).

The outcomes from
the workshop are currently being used to draft the Resident Survey Questionnaire. The draft Questionnaire will be presented to the working group first, to ensure that the information from
the working group meeting has been addressed, before sending the final Questionnaire out to the Queenscliff
community.

It is anticipated that the draft Resident Survey Questionnaire will be completed in August.
